Description

The New Braunfels Jaycees have been active in the community since 1934. Our mission is to foster an environment for aspiring leaders to grow their network, engage in the community, develop professionally, and create a better New Braunfels through volunteerism and philanthropy.

The New Braunfels Jaycees is our community’s young professionals organization, with more than 250 members ages 18-40 who live and/or work in New Braunfels. The Jaycees provides its members with opportunities to connect with each other, become more involved in the community, and learn from business and civic leaders. 

The Jaycees have monthly networking mixers, monthly leadership luncheons, quarterly volunteer days, manage booths at the Comal County Fair and Wurstfest, and host special events like the annual Rising Stars of New Braunfels Soiree and the New Braunfels 0.5K Beer Run.

The Jaycees also maintain an endowment fund giving multiple scholarships to Texas State University students from Comal County, have a partnership with the Greater New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce, and, through our Philanthropy Committee, donate thousands of dollars each year to local non-profits.

The Jaycees are a 501C-3 non-profit organization through the Founders Oak Foundation and receive no financial support from any government agencies. All funds are raised through annual events, food sales at the Comal County Fair and Wurstfest, membership dues and sponsorships. 

The Jaycees are proud to support our community by giving back to local non-profits using funds from our annual events. Since 2017, the Jaycees have contributed more than $195,000 to local community organizations.

We are again hosting one of our annual events, our ninth New Braunfels Beer Run 0.5K. The event will be on March 2nd at Rockin’ R in Gruene. The event features a unique twist on a race for adults, a family race, kid’s races, a kid’s zone, food trucks, a DJ and much more.

The Jaycees are currently seeking out prizes/items for our adult and kids race winners as well as raffle and silent auction items. We are hoping that your business might be able to donate something to the event and appreciate any assistance you can offer.
